Re: Gilenya, after Tysabri and CCSVI procedure

It is so good to hear posts from others in the same boat/ I had to go off tysabri as I carry jcv antibody that predisposes me to pml. I am going to try ldn and am trying to weigh the odds of adding gilenya too. They say you are prone to infections with it---and I get bladder infections all the time-...
